Woes continue as Chelsea crash out of FA Cup

The bad run of form continues for Chelsea tonight as they have gained a FA Cup exit to further deepen the increasing pressure on Maurizio Sarri.

An Ander Herrera’s goal just after the half-hour mark put the visiting United ahead in the fifth-round clash at Stamford Bridge before French international Paul Pogba doubled their lead in first-half injury time.

Once again bad defending was the biggest culprit for the Blues whose sloppy defending has blighted their season o far.

Pogba delivered a fine cross from the left after a neat build-up play by the visitors, and Herrera dazzled between David Luiz and Marcos Alonso to head in from close range, whilst a cross from the opposite flank resulted in the second goal as Pogba arrived between Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger to nod home.

Both teams had threatened during a lively opening 25 minutes, with united creating some chances however Chelsea pressed and Eden Hazard steered a right-footed shot wide after cleverly exchanging passes with Alonso near the edge of the penalty area.

United responded, with the two goals that the Sarri side trying to find a way back in the second half but United defended superbly.
And the home crowd turned on head coach Sarri when he made a strange-looking late substitution, bringing Davide Zappacosta on for Azpilicueta.

Transfer News: Jorginho’s Agent Refuses to Rule Out Juventus Switch

Jorginho’s agent Joao Santos has uncovered that the midfielder would have no apprehensions about joining Juventus this summer regardless of his past loyalty to Napoli and the way that he had recently announced that the Italy international was ‘100%’ staying at Chelsea next season.

After a much-commended start, Jorginho battled halfway through the campaign gaining himself some pain from a segment of the Blues’ fanbase but turned it around towards the end of the season to complete emphatically.

In any case, the ongoing connections including Maurizio Sarri with an return to Italy, and explicitly the Serie A champion Juventus.

​And, addressing Radio Marte in Italy, as cited by TMW, Santos asserted that his client would have no issue with joining Sarri at La Vecchia Signora.

Talking on the connections, the agent stated: “I think they [Chelsea] are concentrated on the Europa League final. For Jorginho it was a really splendid season, he played 50 games and completed third in the Premier League, is in the final in the Europa League and plays for the Italian national team.”

Jorginho might stay or go with Sarri Maurizio if he leaves Chelsea this season, either way Chelsea has better players to take up his role in the midfield.
